15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  



1. What does LASER stand for?
    Latent Absorption of Specified Elliptical Radons
    Latent Amplification of Stimulated and Elliptical Radons
    Light Absorption by Simulated Emission of Radiation
    Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation


2. What particle plays the major role in the process of lasing?
    Krypton
    Proton
    Electron
    Neutron


3. What do you call an atom whose electrons have reached a higher energy state?
    Energized state atom
    Excited state atom
    Lasing atom
    Radiative atom


4. When an electron drops down from a higher energy state and recombines with a hole, what is produced?
    A gamma ray
    A photon
    A current
    Nothing, they cancel out.


5. Laser light has many features different to ordinary incandescent light. Which of these is NOT one of them?
    Diffuse
    Monochromatic
    Coherent
    Intensely focused


6. What requirement needs to be met before a medium can begin to 'lase'?

    100% slope efficiency
    Equal density of states
    Population inversion


7. What is the minimum number of energy levels needed for lasing?
    3
    2
    1
    4


8. The wavelength of the laser light is a direct relationship with what feature of the medium?
    The energy gap between the excited state and ground state
    The amount of energy levels in the lasing process
    The density of excited state atoms
    It has nothing to do with the medium


9. What is NOT a form of laser?
